Charlie Cox forgot to use eyes in Han Solo audition

'Daredevil' star Charlie Cox has revealed he failed his Han Solo audition because he completely forgot the 'Star Wars' character isn't blind

Charlie Cox failed his Han Solo reboot audition because he forgot to use his eyes.

The 'Daredevil' star has got so used to playing the blind titular superhero in the Netflix series that he failed to remember the 'Star Wars' character isn't visually impaired and as a result he didn't look at the casting director during his try-out for the spin-off film.

He told The Hollywood Reporter: "I had gone to an audition - one of those things that are super secretive and they don't tell you, but I'm pretty sure it was for the Han Solo reboot - and halfway through it, the casting director stopped me and said, 'Why aren't you looking at me?'

"I realised I had gotten into a habit of not making eye contact, because the only thing I had done for two years is play someone who is blind.

"I never got invited back, probably because they couldn't figure out why I was acting like a complete idiot."

Charlie's eye issue was good news for 'Hail Caesar!' actor Alden Ehrenreich, who has landed the role of young Han Solo - who was originally played by Harrison Ford in the 'Star Wars' movies - in the forthcoming film following an extensive search by studios Disney and Lucasfilm.
